Start the sshd daemon using the system->daemons->ssh->start menu. Then connect using ssh from the same machine to test it out.

ssh 127.0.0.1 -l dsl

When you added a user did it create a directory for that user in /home? If not that may be why that attempt failed. You need a password for whoever you are trying to connect as so the above should help.

I hadn't tried ssh on dsl-n, but was rather responding to what I thought was a question about passwords. I tried ssh and it looks like it doesn't work. ssh rejects the passwords I set for user dsl. The cluprit may be hiding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, but I'm not savvy enough to see what the problem is.

For those who are having troubles like this, I found a way to get SSH working - although it's still pretty freekin' broken.

Setting a passwd on Root or DSL doesn't work for SSH access. Ever.

As root on the box, if you call "/usr/sbin/adduser.lua" it will create a user that CAN ssh into the box.

... however you're stuck in user space.

Calling 'su' from this user through SSH silently fails, running 'sudo' complains that the new user isn't in the /etc/sudoers file and of course the new user can't edit the file to put himself in there.

I had someone add a user to a remote box for me to test on, and once we got into the box with SSH he left, so I was stuck with a login that was completely hosed... BUT I got into the box remotely!

I'm going to work on tweaking the user today when I get hands on the box again and I'll post my findings.
